Perhaps......but neither are they as difficult to obtain than True Believers would want the public to believe. It is very telling the degree to which Controllers ignore what James Wright, Peter Rossi, Gary Kleck and other liberals have to say on the issue.
Does the first fact lead to the second?
Highly unlikely, since......
1) Take away 100% of the gun violence in the U.S., and we still kill each other at a higher rate than other 'developed' nations, and
2) Hard to ignore the inverse correlation between escalating gun purchases and the decline of gun violence since '93
Don't believe for a moment that a large percentage of the population doesn't recognize the manner in which you cherry-pick your "facts".
The arguments over the real meaning of the Second Amendment, with correspondingly different interpretations of original intent, are another area of intense disagreement.
Only because The Controllers ignore the FACT that the vast majority of constitutional scholars and historians see the 2nd as an individual right rather than a collective right. And we all know how right-leaning academia is now, don't we?
